Who would want to kill the village idiot?

Theo van Gogh (July 23, 1957–November 2, 2004) was a Dutch film
director, television producer, publicist and actor. He was a
descendant of Theo van Gogh, the brother of painter Vincent van Gogh.
He was murdered by Mohammed Bouyeri in 2004.

The film Submission Working from a script written by Ayaan Hirsi Ali, van Gogh created
the 10-minute movie Submission. The movie deals with the topic of
violence against women in Islamic societies; telling the stories of
four abused Muslim women. The title itself, "Submission", is
the translation of the word "Islam" into English. In the
film, women's naked bodies are veiled with semi-transparent shrouds as
they kneel in prayer, telling their stories as if they are speaking to
Allah. Qur'anic verses unfavourable to women are projected onto their
bodies in Arabic. After the movie was released in 2004, both van Gogh
and Hirsi Ali received death threats. Van Gogh did not take these very
seriously and refused any protection, reportedly telling Ayaan Hirsi
Ali: "Who would want to kill the village idiot?"
